GM Brian Cashman said Sunday that Britton (hamstring) will undergo an MRI, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander landed on the injured list Saturday with a strained left hamstring, though he said earlier Sunday he expects to return from the injured list when first eligible July 6. The MRI doesn't necessarily change that timeline unless Britton has experienced a setback.

Britton (hamstring) threw from 125 feet Sunday and later said that he expects to be activated from the injured list when first eligible July 6, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Britton was placed on the injured list with the hamstring issue Saturday. It sounds more and more like the injury is a lingering cramping problem as opposed to something more serious, so Britton should be able to return to the Yankees bullpen when he becomes eligible in just over a week.

Britton was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Britton left Friday's game against Boston due to an injury, and he tested his hamstring on the field ahead of Saturday's matchup. Manager Aaron Boone said that the southpaw's hamstring was feeling better Saturday, and Boone said that the injury is similar to cramping, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports. However, the Yankees will still place Britton on the injured list to prevent a more serious issue. Albert Abreu and Brooks Kriske were recalled as part of a corresponding move.

Britton left Friday's game against the Red Sox due to a hamstring injury, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Britton grabbed at his hamstring as he removed himself from Friday's matchup, but the team doesn't yet know the severity of his injury. Manager Aaron Boone said that the Yankees hope to know more about the left-hander's status Saturday, so he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Britton exited Friday's game against the Red Sox in the bottom of the eighth inning with an apparent lower body injury, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Britton threw 11 pitches in relief during Friday's contest, but he threw a ball in the dirt and immediately removed himself from the game in the bottom of the eighth inning. He appeared to be grabbing at the back of his left leg as he left the field, but the exact nature and severity of his injury aren't yet clear. The southpaw returned to the mound Wednesday after dealing with general soreness, and it's not yet clear whether his most recent injury will force him to miss additional time.

Britton (general soreness) gave up a run on two hits and struck out two in an inning of relief Wednesday in the Yankees' 6-5 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Britton was making his first appearance in nearly a week after he had been dealing with some mild body soreness in recent days. He surrendered the go-ahead run when Carlos Santana took him yard, but the Yankees rallied with two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to take a 4-3 lead.

Britton was unavailable for Sunday's win over the A's due to general soreness, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Aaron Boone compared the injury to what a pitcher experiences while ramping up during spring training, so it doesn't appear to be a serious concern. Britton will have Monday's scheduled off day to rest up before Tuesday's series opener versus the Royals.

Britton picked up a hold Tuesday against Toronto, pitching a scoreless inning during which he surrendered one hit and two walks.

EDGE Analysis

In his second outing of the season, Britton was thrust into a high-stress situation, entering in the bottom of the eighth inning with New York clinging to a one-run lead. The left-hander sandwiched two walks around a single but got Bo Bichette to line out to right field with two outs to escape a bases-loaded jam. It appears that the Yankees are comfortable giving Britton high-leverage work despite his long layoff to begin the season, but his high-wire act Tuesday -- along with the fact that only 11 of his 24 pitches went for strikes -- suggests that the veteran reliever may still be working off some rust.

Britton retired all three batters he faced while notching one strikeout against the Phillies on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander returned to the big club Saturday after missing the Yankees' first 63 games while recovering from spring elbow surgery. Britton struggled somewhat in a string of minor-league rehab appearances but looked good in his major-league season debut, needing only 11 pitches to get through a clean seventh inning. The veteran reliever will likely be eased back into action but should assume a prominent spot in the bullpen pecking order before long.

Britton (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list prior to Saturday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Britton has been sidelined for the first 10 weeks of the season while recovering from an offseason cleanup of his elbow, and he also suffered a setback in mid-May. He gave up six earned runs in 4.1 innings through five rehab appearances. If Aroldis Chapman were ever unavailable or were to lose his grip on the closer's job, Britton would be a top option to step in.
